BACKGROUND. Higher categories of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE)
increase breast cancer risk. However, current clinical BPE categorization is subjective …

Angiogenesis is a key step in the initiation and progression of an invasive breast cancer.
High microvessel density by morphological characterization predicts metastasis and poor …

Background Simulating soft-tissue breast deformations is of interest for many applications
including image fusion, longitudinal registration, and image-guided surgery. For the surgical …

Purpose Accurate segmentation of the breast is required for breast density estimation and
the assessment of background parenchymal enhancement, both of which have been shown …

Glenoid implant loosening remains a major source of failure and concern after anatomical
total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). It is assumed to be associated with eccentric loading and …

Background Patient motion can degrade image quality of dynamic contrast-enhanced
magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) due to subtraction artifacts. By objectively and …

Purpose Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is a common procedure for early-stage breast
cancer patients. Supine preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) breast imaging for …

Background and purpose For postoperative breast cancer patients, deformable image
registration (DIR) is challenged due to the large deformations and non‐correspondence …

Purpose MRI is commonly used to aid breast cancer diagnosis and treatment evaluation. For
patients with breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy aims to reduce the tumor size and …

Clinicians compare breast DCE-MRI after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with pre-
treatment scans to evaluate the response to NAC. Clinical evidence supports that accurate …
